Destined to become a holiday perennial, The Polar Express also heralded a brave new world of all-digital filmmaking. Critics and audiences were divided between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburg's popular children's book, and those who felt that the innovative use of "performance capture"--to accurately translate live performances into all-digital characters--was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the story's epic-scale North Pole adventure. In any case it's a benign, kind-hearted celebration of the yuletide spirit, especially for kids who have almost grown out of their need to believe in Santa Claus. Tom Hanks is the nominal "star" who performs five different computer-generated characters, but it's the visuals that steal this show, as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit of technological innovation. No matter how you respond to the many wonders on display, it's clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in the digital revolution of cinema. If it also fills you with the joy of Christmas (in spite of its Nuremberg-like rally of frantic elves), so much the better. --Jeff Shannon The World of The Polar Express

 3D is TERRIBLE! November 21, 2009
Kenny
Speaking about 3D portion only... I bought the standard 3D version of the movie... not the blue ray version. Within minutes we had to shut it off. The images are distorted. There are terrible shadows around the chraracters and objects. The glasses are made of paper, with red on the left eye, and blue on the right. The colors of the movie are distorted from the glasses. A complete waste of time and money. Tried this movie on two different televsions, and with two different DVD players.
Rip off.
dvd The Polar Express November 19, 2009
Jae K. Youn (NY, USA)
This dvd quality is really bad in terms of Good like new as i found on the web-site.
It pops so much time and doesn't play well. The seller must explain the truth.
Don't waste money for 3-D Version November 18, 2009
Andrew's Mom (Atlanta, GA)
Just repeating what has already been said here many times....the 3-D version is a HUGE disappointment. Wearing the old blue and red glasses, I felt like the red eye was blind and no matter how I tried to maneuver the glasses the picture was at best mediocre. I would get flashes of the 3-D and get excited, but then it would slip back into blurriness. All I got was an incredible headache for my efforts!
 awesome family movie November 18, 2009

I'm a child at heart. The animation and color is very good. That alone held my attention.
Will keep the little ones busy November 5, 2009
Raoul (Huntley, IL. USA)
Again, I had the original - but, because the price was right, I upgraded to the blu-ray and gave the older one to my son. Fantastic colors, amazing technology and a wonderful story line. I think it will keep the spirit of Christmas alive in children. This is NOT a political statement folks - but, let's face it, the real meaning of Christmas is being washed away by certain people who have an agenda. We can stop them if wew choose.
